Burned Over
This playset is an accessory for the Fiasco role-playing game. "I found that region of country what...would be called¸ ‘a burnt district.' There had been¸ a few years previously¸ a wild excitement passing through that region¸ which they called a revival of religion... It was reported as having been a very extravagant excitement." -The Autobiography of Charles G. Finney The early 19th-century religious revival in western and central of New York was so profound as to give the region the nickname "the burned-over district." Too great to be contained by the predominant Christian sects of the day¸ the movement ignited new religions¸ spiritualist traditions¸ and socialist utopian experiments: a fertile ground for charismatic leaders¸ Christlike disciples¸ and con men.
